I took a
walk for you today. It’s fall, but temperate. The clematis was blooming. Its
lilac petals kissed with a thin layer of lavender. At Grand Pre Park the trees
stood naked without their leaves. At Evangeline Beach the tide was way out. You could
walk it seems, forever. Hardly anyone there except a family, a young couple.
Him, her and a little boy reluctant to walk. His dad picks him up takes off his
sneakers, puts him back down so his little bare feet touch the warm October mud.
There in the distance is Cape Blomidon. Silent, watching, steady as you, as the
endless sky, as the blue of the sky. As the last seagull in flight disappears
from view.
